43 passengers and a driver escaped virtually unscathed after their bus toppled over while driving the Golden Circle on Wednesday.
The bus which is operated by Time Tours, was driving through Þingvellir when a car came speeding from the other direction and the road’s shoulder gave out, the company’s owner, Magnús H. Valdimarsson says.
“The road is only one and a half car-width and when people drive recklessly it’s terrible,” he says. “The road is very bad and the asphalt is torn up here and there.”
Magnús says that it’s clear that things could have gone much worse and commends his driver for the right reactions. He says vast improvements are necessary.
“These roads are very dangerous, not only there but in many other places. The Golden Circle road is horrible, it’s like people are on a rollercoaster.”
